Summary

With all the talk that hip-hop is dead, there's no better example than Fashawn to prove that it's certainly alive, well and being fed to a hungry new generation of hip-hop fans. And after listening to just 16 bars it's evident that Fashawn is one of the hungriest. He's a prodigal son, part of a new generation of emcees lucky enough to grow up in hip-hop's golden era. He's not an '80s baby; he's a '90s baby. Think about that for a second. Then think about his potential.

Hailing from Fresno, California, Fashawn has all the charisma of a modern-day emcee and the rhyming chops of a veteran beyond his years. For a 20-year-old, his raw talent, songwriting ability and versatility, is...well - it's phenomenal.

Recognized already as a leader in Central California's hip hop scene, steering a vibrant pack of young artists with his innovative style and originality in his music, Fashawn is more than ready to take on the world with his debut album "Boy Meets World". Produced entirely by Los Angeles native Exile, "'Boy Meets World' is just a story about a kid growing up," explains Fashawn. "It's my story, it's very honest, it's very in depth. So whatever you thought you knew about me, listen to this and you'll really get a good look at who I am. It's going to be classic."

Comment: Classic. His new album just dropped and I'm still listening to this one! It's only sounded better over time to me! The only minor flaw to me is "Bo Jackson." I don't feel like it adds anything to the album and I feel like it would have been better if it was left off. Still this minor flaw does not ruin it from classic status. I am glad he was recognized by Nas and scooped up on his label.

Comment: I find it funny how the hardest song on this album ("our way") was ripped of black moon's "now way" on the "total eclipse" album. It's aiight, but no classic in my opinion.

Comment: It's so refreshing to get an album that you can listen to all the way through without skipping songs. Great music from beginning to end. Exile has teamed up with another talented MC and made another classic like Below the Heavens with Blu. I must have for all Hip Hop fans, especially those who say that the "album" is dead. Please support this artist and actually buy this cd!

Comment: This is going to be something like another *Illmatic*! Honestly, this cat seems to be more than able to put his stamp on the game. The beats are playful and go well with fashawn's charismatic way to rhyme. Large Pro was definetly right when he said that he was impressed with the outcome of the record... I have listened to the whole record and each track is worth-worth listening to. Classic material, no doubt. hope it's going to be released on wax. This is the release of the year and put all other releases in the shade. Thanks Exile & Fashawn
